Description:... Based on the observations of teachers and caregivers, researchers have found new ways of documenting the significant changes in growth and movement development occurring across the life span of persons with mental retardation. This volume closely examines these cases from the perspective of the social and physical environment. It also addresses key issues relating to motor development in children with Down Syndrome and presents an important discussion on aspects of health and fitness.
